I'm facing the exact same issue. My desktop deployments take about 15 minutes but deployments to the HP T610's take 40-50 minutes. My image is also small (around 2.45GB). To further compound the issue, the image fails during the deployment
process saying that windows could not successfully install and to restart the installation process.

I was wondering if you had gained any insight into this problem.

What base image are you working with when creating your golden image? I'm still utilizing the base HP image, but it has been heavily modified (removed unneeded software, etc). I sysprep and capture it and base the capture off of standard Windows
7 OS when forced to select an OS for the task sequence.

The capture process goes pretty smoothly, and then I import the capture as a Custom WIM.

My task sequence for deployment though is not having much luck. Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks!
